THE IMPACT OF TIMING OF MAXIMAL CRYSTALLOID HYDRATION ON EARLY GRAFT FUNCTION DURING KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

BACKGROUND: Early graft function is crucial for successful kidney transplantation. Maintaining adequate hydration is complicated by rapid movement of water to the extravascular space. We designed this study to test the effect of maximal hydration during graft ischemia time on early renal function. METHODS: Forty adult patients with chronic renal failure underwent renal transplantation from [...]

EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND VELOCITY TO ASSESS THE HYDRATION STATUS OF WRESTLERS

The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of ultrasound velocity (UV) to detect changes in the hydration status of wrestlers after undergoing acute dehydration and a 2-hour rehydration period. Forty-seven NCAA wrestlers (mean+/-SEM); age 19.1+/-0.2 years, height 1.73+/-0.1 m, body mass (BM) 79.4+/-2.4 kg were tested in euhydrated, dehydrated, and a 2-hours [...]

A CASE REPORT – SEVERE ELECTROLYTE DISTURBANCES IN AN EIGHT WEEK OLD BOY

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in children and underlying causes are many. It is most often caused by excessive salt loss from the gut but is also associated with severe systemic disorders in which there is actual or apparent aldosterone deficiency, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which is the most common inherited [...]

TOTAL BODY WATER AND FAT-FREE MASS: EVALUATION OF EQUATIONS BASED ON BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN INDIA

The association of early postnatal growth with diseases in adults such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and CHD has generated interest in studying postnatal growth. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a useful measure to estimate total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM). We evaluated three published equations (Fjeld et al. (Pediatr Res (1990) 27, [...]

HOW TO ENSURE PATIENT OBSERVATIONS LEAD TO EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF OLIGURIA

Fluid balance is essential for normal functioning of the body. Oliguria (poor urine output) is usually associated with low circulatory blood volume (hypovolaemia), and can be a sign that a patient is acutely ill and deteriorating.

THREE PERCENT HYPOHYDRATION DOES NOT AFFECT THE THRESHOLD FREQUENCY OF ELECTRICALLY-INDUCED CRAMPS

PURPOSE:: Dehydration is hypothesized to cause exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC). The theory states that dehydration contracts the interstitial space thereby increasing the pressure on nerve terminals and cramps ensue. Research supporting this theory is often observational and fatigue is rarely controlled. Inducing cramps with electrical stimulation minimizes many of the confounding factors associated with exercise-induced [...]

HEART RATE RESPONSES AND FLUID BALANCE OF COMPETITIVE CROSS-COUNTRY HANG GLIDING PILOTS

PURPOSE: To evaluate the physiological challenges of competitive cross-country hang gliding. METHODS: Seventeen experienced male pilots (age=41+/-9 y; mean+/-SD) were fitted with a monitor that recorded heart rate and altitude at 0.5 Hz throughout a competitive flight. Fluid losses were evaluated by comparing pilot pre- and postflight mass. RESULTS: The pilots' displacement was 88.4+/-43.7 km [...]

THE ROLE OF HYDRATION IN VOCAL FOLD PHYSIOLOGY

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Increased vocal fold hydration is a popular target in the prevention and management of voice disorders. Current intervention strategies focus on enhancing both systemic (internal) and superficial (surface) hydration. We review relevant bench and human research on the role of hydration in vocal fold physiology. RECENT FINDINGS: Bench and human studies provide [...]

ANESTHESIA IN PATIENTS WITH ANOREXIA NERVOSA AND BULIMIA NERVOSA

Eating disorders are typical diseases of adolescence and early adulthood. About 1-3% of female juveniles suffer from anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN). Today AN is still the psychiatric disease with the highest mortality rate. The peri-operative mortality rate of patients suffering from AN is in the range up to 15%. The beginning of [...]

INVOLVEMENT OF HOSPITAL NURSES IN CARE DECISIONS RELATED TO ADMINISTRATION OF ARTIFICIAL NUTRITION OR HYDRATION (ANH) IN PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

BACKGROUND: Nurses that care for patients with advanced dementia are increasingly faced with consequences of disease progression, often requiring them to decide whether to artificially feed these patients. Clarifying how nurses can be better supported in complex care processes involving ethically sensitive decision-making requires that their practice be mapped out. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this [...]
